- Irene_Calvert abstract "Irene Calvert (10 February 1909–19 May 2000) was a Northern Irish politician and economist.Born in Belfast, as Lilian Irene Mercer Earls, she studied at Methodist College, Belfast. Leaving school at the age of 18 she worked for some years in various stores, before going to Queen's University, Belfast from 1933 to 1936 to study economics and philosophy. In 1941 she was appointed to the vacant post of Chief Welfare Officer for Northern Ireland, immediately having to organise care for a flood of wartime evacuees including those evacuated to Northern Ireland from Gibraltar.In 1944, Calvert was urged to contest a by-election for the Queen's University Belfast constituency to put a woman's point of view. She was unsuccessful but stood again in the Northern Ireland general election, 1945, as an independent (non-party) candidate, and on this occasion succeeded in taking a seat. She held the seat until she stood down at the 1953 election. In Parliament, she refused to discuss the constitutional question, which she regarded as a distraction from the real task of social reform, including the passage of the Education Act, 1947. In her resignation speech, she did however question whether the Northern Irish economy could thrive while the partition of Ireland continued.In 1950 Calvert began working at the Ulster Weaving Company as an economist, and having successfully helped build up their institutional sales was appointed a managing director. In 1956 she was invited to become a group chairman at the Duke of Edinburgh's Study Conference on Industry. She also served on the Belfast City Chamber of Commerce, becoming its first (and indeed only) woman president in 1965–1966. She also served on Queen's University's Senate and Board of Curators, and was active in the Irish Association.In 1964, she took up the position of executive manager (subsequently development manager) of Great Southern Hotels, a subsidiary of CIE, the Irish Transport Company, with whom she worked until early 1970. In 1970, she was briefly Head of Households for Doris Duke. She retired to Dublin where she was an active supporter of the Irish Labour Party.well into her eighties. She died at the Royal Hospital, Donnybrook, on 19 May 2000.".
